Whats the best lube or wax to use that doesn''t flop all over evrything? I''ve tried a few different ones so far. The best i''ve found is the PJ1 Black label so far but that still goes everywhere. I have chrome rims and no chain gaurd so I''m constantly cleaning and polishing them. Any input would be great. Gonna get a chain gaurd but I think it will still go all over.

Bel-Ray is some good stuff (the white stuff) and doesn''t fling much at all. I use 90W gear oil myself which works very well, but it does fling a little bit more. Excellent lubrication though and that''s what I need

Belray works decent. only place it accumulates is under the kickstand on the fairing. Rest is all clean!

I use Motorex racing chain lube with Teflon. What I do is put it on the night before and let it sit over nigh, I get very little fling.
as for white lithium ya it will be ok on o-rings but it will fling and make a mess if you use it on your chain, my new EK chain had white lithium on it when i opened the box. I used it for engine break in when i rebuilt motors it would help with not letting it dry start

Yeah I just put on an RK chain kit and the chain was covered in what looked like white lithium. I have always used chain wax in the past.
